arXiv:2606. 27161v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved strong multimodal reasoning capabilities, but their efficiency is limited by the large number of visual tokens, which introduces substantial computational overhead.
arXiv:2608. 07193v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Visual-token pruning can substantially reduce the inference cost of multimodal large language models (MLLMs), yet existing methods largely rely on fixed, handcrafted heuristics and costly expert trial and error.
arXiv:2607. 07033v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large vision-language models incur substantial inference costs because high-resolution inputs introduce thousands of visual tokens, many of which are redundant for a given query.
Multimodal foundation models are reshaping edge-cloud visual intelligence from task-specific feature pipelines into token-based interfaces, where edge devices encode visual inputs into tokens for a general-purpose cloud MLLM. However, dense visual-token sequences increase cloud-side inference costs.
arXiv:2608. 06411v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) achieve strong performance across diverse vision-language tasks, but their efficiency is limited by the cost of processing numerous visual tokens.
arXiv:2606. 03569v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities but suffer from significant computational overhead during inference.
Abundant visual information strengthens vision-language model (VLM) perception, yet massive visual tokens raise inference costs. Existing visual token pruning methods rely on similarity-based guidance, which exploits pairwise text-vision and vision-vision token correlations for compression.
arXiv:2607. 23913v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern vision-language models (VLMs) increasingly rely on dynamic or high-resolution visual encoding, producing thousands of visual tokens that substantially increase downstream language-model inference cost.
arXiv:2604. 00757v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Vision Language Models show impressive performance across image and video understanding tasks, yet their computational cost grows rapidly with the number of visual tokens.
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities but suffer from significant computational overhead during inference. While visual token pruning offers a promising solution, existing methods predominantly rely on initial attention scores.
arXiv:2608. 03450v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reasoning in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) requires both fine-grained visual perception and rigorous logical deduction.
arXiv:2605. 18160v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In recent years, multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have achieved remarkable progress, primarily attributed to effective paradigms for integrating visual and textual information.
arXiv:2607. 02484v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Visual token pruning is a crucial strategy for accelerating VLMs by compressing redundant image patches, yet existing methods often fail to preserve critical cues under dense instructions and fine-grained queries.
